My Tamora was giving the following warnings this evening:

Oil pressure warning 1
Oil pressure sensor warning 18
EFI warning 5

and the oil pressure reading was showing 0.

My boyfriend was coming to pick me up from work when they came up. They seemed to clear and after letting the car warm up, the oil pressure reading went back to normal.

Should I worry? I know errant EFI warnings are common but I have never seen all of these warnings together. I will probably take the car to the dealer on Saturday to get it checked out but I wanted to check if I should be worried/ not driving the car.

I always get the oil warning on start up, I would guess while pressure is building up. Did you check the level ? If you live in London, where is your nearest dealer ??

More likely it's a problem with the Oil Pressure Sensor rather than the actual oil pressure. I had my sensor changed last year 'cos it was reading too low meaning I was getting errant warnings.
Best to get your dealer to confirm though.

Yes, the level is fine (it has recently had its 12000 mile service). My nearest dealer is the TVR Centre in Barnet
